Came into some money, bought a SLS

I needed to make a big purchase to feel like I did something with it, so I bought a SLS. White with tan interior. Easier to get in and out of than I thought. Fast and comfortable. Ready for a road trip!

Perhaps a "very nearly gold chain?"

I want my neck to turn green when I sweat.

This thing has front and rear heated seats, and 2 blower motors for the front and back. The guy was telling me about going a few weeks with a dead front blower motor, and got by with seat heaters and the rear heat. When you open the center console it blows out the top. Great Engineering, just don't keep M&Ms in the center console during the winter.

Is your continuum near Wichita? I don't recall seeing a Parthenon nearby.

The table was 2 HS English teachers, 2 HS math teachers, 1 former student who was in college, and a Used Car Dealer.

How would you compare it to the blue STS you had before?

That was 1000 cars ago...

Feels about the same. Despite the 25 HP difference, the SLS is faster off the line. They made the gearing of the STS different for a higher top speed.
